COMMIT TO QUIT…THIS ROLL OF FIRE

WORLD TOBACCO DAY..A WORTHY DAY TO REMEMBER..

 

 Our Habit seldom dies, even the word, remove the first letter, a bit remains,

Remove the next letter, still a small bit stays, remove the next it remains,

 So habits acquired by pleasure or imbibed by nature , are hard and astray,

 Once deep seated, its hard to dispense with, ruining the mind and the body.

 

 Smoking, the reigning monarch of them, millions in the world under this habit, 

Every five second a smoke related death ,five millions die worldwide in fact,        

A milligram of nicotine absorbed, offers pleasure, ensuring a worst side effect, 

Pursuit of problems oft aplenty years later, all to deal with deleterious effect.

 

Persistent cough, malignancy lung or elsewhere, to mention a few for you.

An old paradigm to remember in sexual disease, here too worthy and true, 

Minutes with nicotine, myriads of neoplasm with their jobs cut out for you,

An uninvited habit, like the word, is ready to see your ashes fall beneath you.

End justifies the means, the world around beset with a pandemic all around,

Succumbing to life style morbidity, easier than have a life healthy and sound, 

When such eagles prowl around the prey, waiting the moment for the attack,  

Its time to relinquish these rolls of fire from our lips to keep on a right track.
